We ate at a couple of other places along the main Sámara beachfront but our meal at the Sámara Pacific Lodge was the best by some margin (and the most reasonable!). The quality of the food - a blend of French and Caribbean cuisine -...is absolutely top notch. The menu changes every day and takes advantage of that which is fresh and in season. My tuna tartar with avocado was delicious, my husband enjoyed his beef medallions, and our daughters were very happy with their variations of pasta (one had it with white sauce and smoked trout and the other two with tomato sauce). For C5,000 each the kids meals also included ice cream. The restaurant setting is idyllic, overlooking the pool in the beautiful tropical gardens of the hotel. Service is excellent; friendly and attentive but never overbearing. We were guests at the Sámara Pacific Lodge for three nights over New Year (see separate review for hotel).More

Fantastic meal - Lovely people and staff - beautiful setting in the courtyard of the hotel We had drinks and snacks as well as the NYE special dinner - both excellent...

We visited Samara Pacific for dinner on New Years Eve. All the staff were efficient and friendly and in particular, the owner was really nice and on hand all night, chatting with us about the food. This was particularly important to me as I needed...to have gluten free food because of coeliac disease. The 4 course meal was absolutely delicious and included wine choices. The restaurant is slightly away from the main centre in a peaceful setting but well worth the effort. This was easily the best meal we had all holiday.More

3 offerings that change daily. Chef is meticulous, and food is unique and beautifully presented. Wonderful for families, date night or a meal for a solo traveller. We had absolutely delicious tenderloin and pasta the night we came for dinner as a family. Loved the...quiet table upstairs, and the great service.More

If you want to have delicious meal , a silent and peaceful place and a very friendly service you are right here. The menu is small but very delicious and the wine list is perfect for the food . It looks expansive but it isn’t..., i will come again and again ....., the menu changes every week . Thank you for your friendly hospitality .More

We stayed at the hotel and were impressed with the restaurant. It was delicious and very reasonably priced. Even the chicken nuggets and fries that my son had was fantastic.

the restaurant offers 3 dishes of your choice per night, so the products are fresh, but the price is quite expensive. the summer meal is not good enough for the price we expected more quality. the service is good. it is a restaurant away from...the city you need a car, and it is part of a hotel, so you have to go there early enough. I find that there are other restaurants much better and cheaper in town.More

Not that we were not satisfied with our dinner but hard to understand why a restaurant on the grounds of a boutique hotel with 5 tables and a menu with just three dishes scores that well. Especially the lack of choice does not merit a...five-star rating and probably the result of the guests of the hotel. Nevertheless, a charming and friendly service from the young team that runs the restaurant.More

We went to the restaurant for dinner and expected to see the sunset before dinner. But the restaurant is situated far from the beach. We had a very delicious meal and great dessert. We will recommend this restaurant with the information that you need cash...to pay.More

We were a big group of 16 and we got our own spot in the restaurant all by our selves. Service was great, they were native French speaking but also good at English. Food was very nice. A place we can clearly recommend for big...groups or if you want a calmer place for couples.More

The restaurant was okay. The food was okay. It was a small menu because they cook whatever they have that is fresh that day, which is super cool. My meal was still yummy, but not as good compared to other restaurants in Samara. The atmosphere...wasn’t anything special, and the location was bad. You need a car to get there, as walking wouldn’t have seemed safe. We got a bit lost finding the place without a GPS. If you have a short trip, I don’t recommend making time for this place, it if you are there long enough, then it’s still cool to try.More

I loved that you are out of town but close to Samara beach and a 15 minute walk to Buena Vista Beach.In the morning you can hear the birds and the howler monkeys. The breakfast was excellent with the best coffee. Dinner at the lodge...was excellent too. The grounds are well keep, the staff were very helpful in booking tours for me.More
